DEVIL DOG'S CREED |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
I am an American: I was born
in France. I have held the title of United States Marine, and understand
the commitment of holding the title, Devil Dog. It is a tradition born at
Belleau Wood in the year 1918, of a Force In Readiness and the "First To
Fight". As a Devil Dog, I ask no quarter and give no quarter. I will do
everything in my power to uphold the objectives of the Military Order of
Devil Dogs and to carry out my duties to a swift and satisfactory
completion. |

|
The Military Order of
the Devil Dogs is the fun and honor society of the Marine Corps League. |

Main Purpose: |

Promotes good fellowship
amongst the members of different Marine Corps League Detachments. The
Order provides amusement and entertainment at all gatherings of the
League, when and where advisable, preserves and strengthens the principles
and ideals of the League, and maintains true allegiance to the United
States of America and its Constitution and laws. It fosters and extends
American institutions of freedom and defends America against all enemies
foreign and domestic. The Order is also VERY active in raising funds for
children's hospitals, and associated charities. |

Commandant and be sponsored by two DEVIL DOGS or PEDIGREED DEVIL DOGS. The

Organization: |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The Pound is on a local
level and is usually made up of members of different Marine Corps League
Detachments. On the State level there is the Pack, and on the National
level there is a Kennel. There are three different degrees in the Order.
The lowest degree is that of a Pup. The next degree is that of a Devil
Dog. The highest degree is that of a Pedigreed Devil Dog. The Pup wears a
black ribbon, the Devil Dog wears a red ribbon, and the Pedigreed Devil
Dog wears a gold ribbon. The ribbon is worn around the neck and a Dog Tag
is attached to it. The head of the Pound is called the Pound Keeper. The head of the pack is the Pack Leader. The head of the Kennel is also the head of all Devil Dogs and is called Chief Devil Dog. The Order's many charitable donations not only help people in need, but also build good public relations for the Order, the League, and the United States Marine Corps. |
